Former Arsenal and England defender Tony Adams has taken over from the departed Harry Redknapp as Portsmouth manager. Adams's previous managerial post was at Wycombe Wanderers from 2003-2004, where he oversaw the club's relegation from third division to fourth. He has been Redknapp's assistant since mid-2006.
